John Caudwell began his career as an apprentice working at the Michelin Tyres factory in Stoke-on-Trent. This grounding in a successful multi-national company provided some of the fundamental practical knowhow and the inspiration to later become one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs.
As a passionate advocate for alternative routes into employment and the encouragement of entrepreneurship in UK business, John has teamed up with the Great British Entrepreneur Awards to recognise businesses that are inspiring and influencing people to climb the career ladder.
We’re looking for businesses that can show a commitment and passion to support non-graduates into employment, with demonstrable personal skill development and opportunities for career progression. Schemes may include (but are not limited to); apprenticeships, kick-start placements, work experience, training & volunteering.
This category will also celebrate businesses who recognise the barriers to employment that some people face and their work to proactively remove them. Work may include efforts to improve opportunities for people inhibited because of their health/disability, education, race, gender or age.
